Well, dear readers, yesterday was spent visiting the partner's Mother in Jarrow with Christmas gifts ... her sister and brother came too, meaning the 90 year old Mother had all three of her children together with presents to exchange, which was lovely for all of us! As it happens the sister and brother will eat Christmas dinner together with theMother, while the partner and the old blogger will eat lunch in Stanhope.
The whole week has been preparing for the big day, with cards and gifts arriving daily and friends and relations also ... Sunday of course was for the old blogger's two delightful daughters, and Monday the carols round the Christmas tree in Stanhope, Tuesday just shopping and enjoying the ambience, Wednesday the grandchildren came to help decorate the room and enjoy the day playing chess, playing games eating lunch popping out for a short walk and visiting the local pub for a drink before going home to Toft Hill to their Mother and Father ....
Today, dear readers, it's off to Bishop Auckland to collect even more food from M&S ... then round to see the grandchildren with their presents ... let's face it Christmas is primarily for young children ...
